Re-boot

The past 10 months have been so incredibly stressful for me...I changed positions at work, got a new supervisor who I clash with more often than not, lost my grandfather at 95 years old, almost lost my mother, lost my dear sweet dog who was 141/2, and have had medical issues myself that have kept me from maintaing my exercise routine. So what did I do? I turned to food...take out and ice cream are my vice...and I've paid for it by gaining back 30 of the 70 pounds I lost. How the heck did that happen? (You don't have to answer that...I know HOW it happened...just feel like the pounds kinda snuck back on overnight).

I'm trying to recommit..trying to get back on track...and could really use some accountability. Any support, encouragement, or swift kick in the... would be greatly appreciated!

Good luck. I am in a very similar position and am committing today to a fresh start. I lost a lot of weight several years ago, but in the last couple of years have been very stressed and turned to food, and today weigh more than I have in many years. I'm a little concerned because when I lost weight the first time I exercised a lot, but a fall a year or so back left me unable to do the same exercises I did before, so I will be relying very much on strength training this time.

Welcome. First step: Track. Then track the next day and so on. It gets easier as you commit to doing that daily.
